Aquatic Therapy

West Erie Plaza

Hertel & Brown provides heated, aquatic therapy pools at four locations: West Erie Plaza, Summit, Harborcreek and Warren. At each clinic, the pool is located in a separate, private room equipped with a changing room and shower.

Aquatic therapy uses the properties of water to achieve therapeutic benefits that are not available with traditional land-based therapy. Aquatic therapy can enhance, restore, and maintain a person’s functional abilities. When one of our skilled physical therapists designs a personalized aquatic therapy program, they take into account these four benefits:

Resistance – provides resistance on all planes of motion to increase strength, endurance and balance

Heat – 97° heated water in the pool increases your joint range of motion and relaxes the muscles
